Lost - no weakness in forgiveness

hafitalMy cable was fixed (apparently someone had "accidentally" switched it off. wtf.) in time for Lost . There was no FNL, which was so sad-making.
Oh, Sayid. I've really really missed you. I love how Sayid is, really, the smartest man on the island. He's smarter then Jack or Locke, imo. I'm sure he's smarter then Ben. I really liked this episode, although I'm confused, of course, but I wasn't really expecting to understand anything.
My understanding of the chess game, and the "hostiles", as well as the Dharma Initiative is that, well, it's not clear if who's left on the island, the ones we know know as "the others", are the hostiles or not. I'm thinking they're not, that those that were the "hostiles" are different from Ben & Co. But, the company that recruited Juliet was not Dharma, so... Maybe they're not Dharma.
Anyway, I think there was a clue in there, but I'm not sure I got what it was. I'm slow, so if someone figured it out, let me know! Clearly, no one ever entered 77 to blow up the farm/compound until Locke did, so I'm guessing either there was never an attack from the hostiles and thus all who's left on the island are Dharma/Other Company people or the hostiles took over before anyone could enter 77 and the others are the hostiles. Whatever. I have no clue.
I did really like eye-patch man (Lorca! from Highlander. He always plays creepy people, that one.)
And I *loved* the flashbacks. The conversation between the woman and Sayid was very well done. My favorite part of the episode. I was really moved by it, and the strength of this woman who could forgive Sayid for what he did to her. Just, wow. This resonates with me, not only for the character of Sayid, but for Methos and Duncan as well, and of course Jack Bauer. And golly, I do seem to get drawn towards characters and tv shows with a great deal of torture in them. I don't want to know what that means about me.
I deleted all of my Sayid icons, so I will use Jack Bauer, to represent torturers everywhere. Or something.
